time: TestParseInSydney fails on Linux after tzdata package update

[ALTree]

go version: go1.3 linux/amd64


Package tzdata was recently bumped on Debian Testing from tzdata-2014e to tzdata-2014f.
The fix to this bug:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=602162

changed some of the Australian abbreviations from EST to AEST and AEDT. 

a test in TestParseInSydney expect EST, and thus it fails.



What steps reproduce the problem?

1. run ./all.bash


What happened?

--- FAIL: TestParseInSydney (0.00 seconds)
    format_test.go:201: ParseInLocation(Feb 01 2013 EST, Sydney) = 2013-02-01 00:00:00 +0000 EST, want 2013-02-01 00:00:00 +1100 AEDT


What should have happened instead?

PASS

Proposed fix
https://golang.org/cl/130920043
as suggested(?) in the mailing list, I changed the test to ensure that 
ParseInLocation doesn't get confused with different timezones having the 
same abbreviation
